4.9/5 (31011 ratings)

Description:Weddings have always been made unforgettable by the rich and famous, the politically powerful, and the royals. For many, the life of Lady Diana Spencer was a fairy-tale... a love story that culminated in a wedding ceremony steeped in beauty, pomp, and tradition. And who can forget the wedding of our own American prince, John E Kennedy Jr., who, despite an insatiable and persistent press, managed a secret ceremony -- one made all the more romantic by its lack of pomp and circumstance?The World's Most Memorable Weddings is an insightful look into unforgettable weddings throughout the ages. There are the weddings that fill us with longing and shock us with their extravagance. For instance: -- Pop singer Celine Dion had the largest, most lavish wedding in Canadian history. (Her fifteen-pound "crown" had to be sewn into her hair.)-- The son of fashion designer Diana Von Furstenburg, a prince, married the daughter of a Hong Kong billionaire in a three-day affair that reportedly cost $4 million.-- The Plaza Hotel was the place for the nuptials of Eddie Murphy, where he and his wife, Nicole, cut their $25,000 wedding cake.Yet despite the romance and glamour, there are those weddings that seem to have deeper motives than love and fidelity: -- Was "Truthful" George Washington really a schemer who married the wealthy widow, Martha Custis, for her money?-- Why did John Kelly pay Prince Ranier of Monaco a two-million dollar dowry to marry his daughter, Grace, the beautiful, ever-popular, Oscar-winning movie star?-- Did Jackie 0 sell her soul for Ari's millions -- just to keep him out of jail in a wedding that shocked the world?Complete with stunning color photographs, The World's Most Memorable Weddings traces weddings from the past to the present, and makes one fact self-evident: Weddings have not changed throughout the ages. Whether for money, power, or just for the glory of love, they pique our passions, gnaw at our curiosity, mesmerize our sensibilities, and lead us to believe that maybe "for one brief shining moment" there is a Camelot.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
